Here's a mod that'll be worthwhile for most escorts and Capri. After I spent days looking and cross reference a specific common part .
I have discovered that Toyota RAV4 strut roller bearing strut tops are virtually direct bolt in once the wing mounting holes are enlarged as Escort are 5/16" thread or later went M8. The RAV4 are 10mm so there's plenty to drill, tho I might just knock them out and swap for M8 and weld in place .
Here's a few pics of the bearing tops and mirrored on the escort one as well as on the car, when looking from underneath half the bolt is visible in each hole, I measured between bolts at 113mm, Escort is 110mm , anyway take a look

Some more work on the strut tops this morning, I pretty much just drilled the holes to 10.5 to 11mm and with some slight ovaling the RAV4 tops went straight in.


So with that simple fix done I decided to bolt up the grill to have a good look at the progress achieved


Finally bought inserts which are made for a Celica 93 model, bought from USA mega auto parts store called RockAuto, kyb inserts were about $40ea due to being a close out sale till new stock arrives, plus $42 post for 5 day delivery.

Haha Deano, maybe I should put a GTI badge on the boot !

Thanks Mark , according to fake AI they are going to raise the spension about 1in, whoever, I'm using Capri struts and also according to AI will lower the height about 20mm. So basically it's try and see how it sits. I will be lowering the spring platform accordingly and not to set it low enough it's going to rub the tyre .
One other brilliant find I have found that Peugeot 206 disk rotors are virtually identical to Escort/Capri 2.8 venteds , ok the centre hole is a little smaller by 2mm and the hub holes will need drilling, both easy to do.
Here's the link for the super cheap rotors...

Peugeot 207 are identical except are about 280mm, they also do 310mm for the GTI model, a good upgrade if running 15in wheels or bigger .....

I'm either going to be running Volvo 4 pot calipers or find a set of modern sliders that'll fit, and when I say fit, I'll be doing adaptions cause nothing really will bolt straight up

well to be honest, I'm not terribly impressed by that.
 
Mainly because you know how much I spent on the vans Capri coil over front struts, GAZ inserts, alloy hubs, Cortina top Mounts, Capri 2.8 vented disks, M16 rebuild and spacer kit, all 'proper' from the normal suppliers, with UK fees etc. Then some anti establishment cowboy rolls in, with his lateral thinking, and does it all at 1/3rd of the price.... :) 
 
I have a new WRC badge I was going to give you, but I think you need to find an Executive Edition one now instead. 

Marty is going good there guys. I don't know if I would have the patience to research all this stuff though?
You now have a Ravscort Marty!
 
Seriously though, I am presuming the travel etc of the inserts is the main criteria of for you sourcing an alternate?
That's why I convert to coilovers nowadays as you get that choice of setting the platform height.
